    Okay, I did some minor undervolting earlier with CHC, since everyone praises it as being amazing, with no downside. Starting last night, I've been getting errors with prime95, and now I always get one within half an hour, even without CHC on!!! What the heck happened? Did I ruin my CPU? I never went lower than 0.764 min and 1.132 max and ran prime95 for 5+ hours without problems.I didn't stay at those, I raised it to 0.796 min and 1.180 max and got the errors within 25 minutes in prime95. I'm so confused.

    Okay, update, I can do the small FFT torture test for over 8 hours fine, but I can't do the large FFT test for more than a few minutes before a critical error. I don't understand what's wrong, can anyone help me please?

    This is using stock voltages, I don't use CHC anymore.
